Everton launched its Junior Fans’ Forum in 2013.
The Forum, which was the first of its kind in the Premier League, gives a voice to Evertonians aged 11-17.
The purpose of the Junior Fans’ Forum is:
- To be a sounding board for the Club to help shape junior fan engagement activity and inform wider decisions impacting younger supporters.
- To give feedback on ideas and initiatives, offering the perspective of supporters in their age group.
- To give young Blues insight into the function and output of departments across the Club.
The Club hosts a recruitment drive each summer, with the aim of identifying a minimum of 10 children for that season’s Junior Fans’ Forum.
The group then meets with representatives of Everton’s Fan Engagement Team every half term throughout that campaign.
Membership of the Junior Fans’ Forum lasts for one season only to ensure more young Blues are afforded an opportunity to get involved.
In previous years, the Junior Fans' Forum has been consulted on ideas for the new stadium and improving the Goodison matchday experience for junior supporters, helped shape the look and feel of the official Everton website, created fun content for Club channels aimed at junior Blues, influenced marketing campaigns, met with representatives of Fanatics to give ideas and feedback on Club merchandise, and more.
For safeguarding reasons, information on the incumbent members of the Junior Fans’ Forum is not made available. However, Forum updates are published in the matchday programme and on evertonfc.com as appropriate.
